From time
to time the County of Los Angeles has surplus property available
for sale to the public. This property consists of County personal
property, unclaimed or abandoned personal property and valuables
except those confiscated in conjunction with drug enforcement
activities and unclaimed stolen property. This surplus property
is disposed of through sale bids, auctions and donations.
